Input parameters

num_iteration

Maximum number of iterations to be performed.


Default: 1

Verbosity level of optzer.


target

Default: None

List of target names separated by spaces. For example, if xxx and yyy are specified, reference data are read from data.ref.xxx and data.ref.yyy files.


param_files

Default: None

List of files that contain texts to be replaced by the optzer in the format, {var-name:format}, e.g., {a:.3f}.


opt_method

Default: None

Optimization method to be performed. Currently, the following methods are available.

  • cs (Cuckoo search)
  • wpe (Weighted Parzen Estimator)

num_individuals

Default: None

Number of individuals in a generation.


cs_fraction

Default: None

Individuals of the fraction in a generation are dropped from the generation.


tpe_nsmpl_prior

Default: None

Number of individuals that should be computed before narrowing down next candidates by TPE or WPE.


temperature (ver. > 0.2.6)

Default: None

Effective temperature in WPE algorithm. If one value is given, that is used as a constant temperature. If two values are given, 1st and 2nd values are taken as initial and final temperatures of linearly decreasing temperature.


update_vrange

Default: -1

In case of CS, update the ranges of optimizing variables in every this step. If negative, not to update the ranges.


fval_upper_limit

Default: 100.0

Upper limit of loss function value. The loss function values greater than this value are replaced with it.


loss_criteria (ver. > 0.2.9)

Default: -1.0

Convergence criterion of loss function value. If negative, no criterion is applied.


stuck_criteria (ver. > 0.2.9)

Default: -1

Convergence criterion for the number consecutive generations within which there is no update in loss value. If negative, no criterion is applied.
